Bushiroad officially launched an English language website and Facebook page for its newest trading card game, Future Card Buddyfight as well as an English- language version of its company page. The official Future Card Buddyfight website is located at fc-buddyfight.com, while the official Facebook page is located at www.facebook.com/Buddyfight.

Both sites will serve as hubs for up-to-date information on Buddyfight products and events for English-speaking regions worldwide. The Facebook page will also allow fans of the game to communicate directly with Bushiroad as well as with each other.

Future Card Buddyfight launches in January, 2014, with the releases of Trial Deck Vol. 1: Dominant Dragons and Trial Deck Vol. 2: Savage Steel on January 24, 2014. The first booster for the series, Booster Pack Vol. 1: Dragon Chief, will release one week later on January 31, 2014, with a full schedule of products coming out throughout the rest of 2014.

Bushiroad will support Future Card Buddyfight with a robust organized play program from launch, further details of which will be forthcoming. An English-language dub of the animated program will also be available shortly afterwards in Singapore, Malaysia and on YouTube.

Bushiroad is also launching an English-language version of its company website at http://bushiroad.com/en/. The site will include the company profile as well as offer a central source for all the latest Bushiroad corporate news and product information for English-speaking regions.

Trick-or-Treating will last through the entire holiday season, thanks to the ghosts and ghouls in the year’s final booster set: Shadow Specters! Halloween horrors abound in this 100-card booster set, from the scary to the silly. Shadow Specters (MSRP $3.99 per nine card pack) will be available nationwide on November 8th.

The undead are front and center in this set, with a whole series of new Vampire monsters, spells, and traps, such as Crimson Knight Vampire Bram. Crimson Knight Vampire Bram can detach its Xyz materials to raise fallen enemy monsters as its own loyal soldiers., it allows a Duelist to target a monster in an opponent’s Graveyard and Special Summon it.

Evil threatens the kingdom but Noble Knights get support to defend it, including new Xyz and Synchro monsters, a new Knight, Noble Knight Borz, a new Noble Arms card, and Lady of the Lake.

Even the Monarchs go to a new level with the first of the new, and even more powerful, supercharged Monarchs! Granmarg the Mega Monarch lets Duelists destroy any two Set cards and draw a card. These are just a few of the highlights in this spooktacular booster set, so get your bag ready as the treats flow forth!

Duelists can tune in every Saturday morning for the all-new Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXA animated series and classic Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes on Vortexx on The CW in the United States. In addition, Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL airs twice on Sundays on Nicktoons. In Canada, Duelists can watch episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL every Friday and Saturday on YTV!
